{"product_id":"holes-live-through-this","title":"Holes Live Through This","description":"\u003cp\u003eCourtney Love has never been less than notorious. Her intelligence, ambition and appetite for confrontation have made her a target in a music industry still dominated by men. As Kurt Cobain''s wife she was derided as an opportunistic groupie; as his widow she is pitied, and scorned, as the madwoman in rock''s attic. Yet Hole''s second album, \u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style:normal\"\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\u003e, awoke a feminist consciousness in a generation of young listeners.\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style:normal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\u003e arrived in 1994, at a tumultuous point in the history of American music. Three years earlier Nirvana''s Nevermind had broken open the punk underground, and the first issue of a zine called Riot Grrrl had been published. Hole were of this context and yet outside of it: too famous for the strict punk ethics of riotgrrrl, too explicitly feminist to be the world''s biggest rock band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style:normal\"\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\u003e is an album about girlhood and motherhood; desire and disgust; self-destruction and survival. There have been few rock albums before or since so intimately concerned with female experience. It is an album that changed lives – so why is Courtney Love’s achievement as a songwriter and musician still not taken seriously, two decades on?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57305362465150,"sku":"NW9781623563776","price":10.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781623563776.jpg?v=1778688171","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/holes-live-through-this","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
